As temps rise, my closet gets breezier, but finding denim shorts that feel comfy and flattering has always been tricky. I’ve never vibed with stiff, short shorts (hello, thigh chafe), so I hesitantly gave the baggy jorts trend a shot this summer. Plot twist: I’m obsessed.
At just 5 feet tall, I assumed long, loose-fitting denim would drown me. But Levi’s Premium Baggy Dad Jorts proved me wrong. The non-stretch denim is lightweight and breathable, and the above-the-knee hem somehow hits exactly where it does on the model—major petite win. The relaxed fit through the leg balances perfectly with a more tailored waist and hip, giving cool-girl energy without sacrificing shape.
I wore mine to a breezy baseball game with a bomber and sneakers (AKA a hot dad fit), then out to dinner with a fitted top and kitten heels. Both looks? A+.
Even fellow petite shoppers agree, raving how Levi’s jorts are flattering, comfy, and easy to dress up or down. So if you’ve been unsure about trying long denim shorts, trust me—this might be your new summer staple.
